Awesome mini adventure, massive thanks to Joe for kicking it off, and to everyone for making it brilliant. Going to pay you all my highest compliment now: if I stumbled into a pub on my own and you were the only other person there, I'd be happy that it was going to be a quality evening

Reckon I'm about half a stone heavier mind, plus there's two empty wine bottles here and something's happened to my remaining whiskey stash* and I swear I'm going to have nightmares tonight about a solitary pannier floating unreachable in the middle of a vast reservoir. In the rain.

*don't panic - it's not Bell's, it's a lovely Islay single malt decanted into a more convenient bottle

Random question for the guys with the SnugPak booties (my birthday is Saturday!): how's the sizing? I'm right at the very top end of the Medium but remember Joe's were falling down a bit so I'm reticent to go up to the large...Cheers!

Thanks for the ride, Joe. And for herding us cats to Mid-Wales in the first place.

The weather was indeed terrible, but I spoke to a couple of us and it seemed that being out of our comfort zone in some great countryside re-ignited some of the enthusiasm for cycle touring (or bike-packing, as the young uns seem to call it) which got us into cycling in the first place.

All the best,

Thanks, it's the cycling I prefer and appreciate the compliments, amazed at the ordeal we put ourselves through, I was pleased as punch to see the bikes rowed up at the dam at the end. Truth be told I was worried that a injury I sustained before Christmas would impact my cycling it just slowed me down.

I'm planning a ride up near Bala and it's another overnight will post it up soon
